We ended our trip home celebrating my cousin’s wedding! Most people would gravitate towards the usual deep, dark colors for a winter wedding. But not me. I went with winter brights. Because thats how I roll :)

In My Life: Home For The Holidays

Happy New Year everyone! How has everyones 2012 been so far?

We are finally back in Boston. And although I have already shared my instagram photos from Christmas Eve and Christmas day (see them here), I still have a bunch more from the rest of our week at home. 

As usual, I have pictures of my cat, Tim Horton’s coffee, and a Sabres game. Those are mandatory :) It wouldn’t be a trip home without them!

Best of 2011

I still have a couple outfits left from last week, but I thought I would do a quick post of some of my favorite outfits of 2011. A little recap, if you will. So without further ado - my 21 of 2011:

I hop you all have a fantastic New Years Eve. We are actually headed back to Boston today, so no big parties or sparkly dresses for me. Instead, I’m going to be spending the day in the car, ordering pizza when we get back, and hoping I can even stay awake until midnight :)

Boo did pretty good this year. If you follow me on Instagram (username: hollyjollydolly), you may have seen the new iphone case he got me for Christmas. Well, he also got me this cape. Pretty, right? I refer to it as my little red riding hood cape. I guess I have next years halloween costume already started!

Buffalo Wing Snob

It really started to snow while we were taking these photos. So pretty!

I wore this out to go get wings with our friends. Boston has really disappointed us in the chicken wing department. Seriously. We have yet to have good wings in that city. So it feels sooooo good to be home in Buffalo and be able to grab some Duffs or Anchor Bar. Ooooooh, its making me hungry just typing this.

What I Wore: Christmas Day

My Christmas outfit!

I was always one of those kids that had to wear all of my new stuff that I open Christmas morning that day. It wasn’t Christmas day if I wasn’t wearing a new outfit. And that obviously hasn’t changed. I couldn’t wait to sport my new Epiphanie camera bag and my new boots that I received for christmas, so I wore them right away that day! 

I love my THEIT Bossi bag, but it is soooo nice to have a second option for when I carry my camera around. My new Epiphanie Lola is so pretty! These two bags are my babies :)

Oh, and these are also the first photos taken with my new 50mm lens! Also a new love.

Copycat

worn on December 24th, 2011

This outfit was straight up copied from Julie of Orchid Grey. She just looked so cozy and stylish, I couldn’t help myself replicating it.

This outfit also happens to be what I wore on Christmas eve. My brother, Boo, and I spent the evening at my dads house for dinner and exchanging gifts. Good times.

Winter White

I thought I had packed this dress away for the season. Its lightweight and airy, and its white. So obviously I thought of it as a summer only dress. 

But then I saw a few other lovely ladies rocking some white during the cold months, and I realized I needed to pull this baby back out from the back of the closet. Some dark tights and cozy sweater easily transformed it into an appropriate winter outfit. And I couldn’t love it more!
